Nice week so far but hamstring is an issue.. not pulled just severely tight suddenly during runs..
Didn't feel like racing Burbage last night, so went out late from Ladybower Inn instead. Straight up behind the pub, along the edge to sit on cakes of bread for the sunset and then just made it back to the car without needing a headtorch. Beautiful run and light, sadly photos didn't come out great as I think it was a lot darker than I realised.
10.3km, 312m climb, 61min
Damp, grey ride to work this morning, 23km, 300m climb, 50 min.
Had an early run today having seen the weather forecast for later. 8m/1500' round local hills - In one field a very young lamb attached itself to me suffering from some kind of parental identification problem. I led it to the nearest sheep that was complaining and at the same time two other lambs suddenly appeared and went towards the sheep. She ended up with 3 lambs "attached" to her so I didn't know who belonged to whom in the end ?
6.8m 1300ft on the hill, and 1hr 15m steady on the turbo trainer before brekkie.
Not what I hoped to be doing today, but life had other plans.
10 miles and 3,700 feet today in the wind and rain
I had a run round the Hailstorm Hill fell race route this morning and the hill lived up to its name.
Hail in the Isle of Man too. A 9.5mile trundle around some of the big hills this morning - 3780ft. Not a soul about.
7 miles and 4144ft ascent.
Bit sluggish recovering from a bout of man flu.
And an easy hour on a turbo trainer just spinning the legs.
early morning long hill reps (x4) with the dog, about 8km with 500m of up.
Stepping it up again now..
Wednesday: 12.9 miles at 6:50 pace..
Thursday: 12.6 miles trail run steady pace.. probably around 8's..
Friday: 15.5 mile trail run 6:50 pace..
Saturday: 4.5 miles recovery 7:30 pace.
Sunday: am: 13.8 miles at 7:00 pace.. undulating trail run. pm: 3 miles steady.
Monday: 20.2 miles trail run on narrow sandy trails at 6:57 pace.. really hard session.
Its holiday time so a week of high mileage as a result of some new targets that appeared earlier this week..Quote:

Wednesday: 13.3 miles trail run hill rep session.. 8 nice trail hills.. averaged 7:30 for session.
Thursday: 20.35 miles, 28 C temps.. horridly hard run in heat and humidity.. 6:55 pace but really struggled.. dunking in fountains along the way.
103 miles in past 7 days so a nice chunk of mileage.. easy day today, 10-12 max over 2 runs and harder 12-14 tomorrow.
12 hill reps - on the steepest hill in Suffolk - 1,100 ft of up/down, just over 6 miles, 8.40/mile. The things we have to do in the East.
Show offQuote:

I like the session mike
I was out on bike got to 10 mile point punture never had equipment to sort out so put the bike on shoulder and ran 3 mile back home then jumped on blocks for 5000ft and 30 mins on rower this morning at about 45 s per min
Next to no running last week, just 3 short sessions in evoskins. Did ride to work all 4 days though, so 185km with just under 3000m climb in total.
Speedy commute on the bike again today, 5 minutes faster than usual, then a dark peak race this evening

BG Leg #2. Looked at Garmin (...and I realise its not 100% accurate) and last November I did it in 4.04 14.2 mile, yesterday I did it in 4.08 14.6 mile. Yesterday I did make a couple of small errors and it does show how a few minor things can add a fairly big lump of time. A short 'going around in a circle' moment and missing the fence off Dollywagon in affect added 7 or 8 minutes I reckon! Thats 35-40 minutes over 5 legs. Obvious but, for me at least, illuminating!!
3.6 mile, sub 24 minutes. Thats good for me, so well pleased!! :)
7.85m 1749ft, tremendous fun. Legs felt leaden putting my shoes on but felt brilliant as soon as I started running.
shocking run today.. 12.7 miles but really really tired..
First run on the fell for 10 months or so. 8 1/2 miles 2300ft of ascent in 81 minutes, quite pleased and ran the whole way with a smile on my face. Shorter run for tomorrow
6 am 6.3 miles
lunch 1 mile 1 hour core session... awful
6pm: 2 mile warm up.. 3 x 1k.. 4:40 min mile pace = dead.. 6 min rest.. still dead.. 5:15 min mile pace km 2.. 6 min rest 5 min mile pace km 3.. 3 x 200m at 33 secs.. 200m job.. 2 mile jog cool down...
What the hell, you're training posts look like the Matrix code to me.Quote:

12.2m 2350ft ascent giving 43m 8000ft for the week.
18 miles 3000ft of ascent and tan lines.
11m 3800ft, tough going and sluggish legs made this more of a walk than a run.
Aye.. the guy I train with likes his routines..Quote:

friday up the band across the tops to wasdale up yewbarrow the tops to great gable styhead tarn over to great langdale
saturday up snakes pass over to high raise down wythburn (nightmare) up seat sandal back over tops to great langdale
sunday a nice easy run round fairfield horseshoe
would have done a lot more but had family with me
Forgot to mention as I was coming of great gable down to sty head they were placing stretcher box and looks like they have found a space for that boulder that fell on leg 4
a glorious half dozen, It's really good to work in the hills but to put on a bumbag and run for your self is a real joy.
